Edith Wharton and the Politics of Race - Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture
Kassanoff, Jennie A. (Barnard College, New York)
Edith Wharton feared that the 'ill-bred', foreign and poor would overwhelm an American elite. Drawing on a range of turn-of-the-century social documents, unpublished archival material and Wharton's major novels, Kassanoff argues that a fuller appreciation of American culture and democracy becomes available through an engagement with these controversial views.
